Message Subject Why don't they at least drop a bigger pipe over the oil gusher and contain it to one spot on the surface?

I have thought this, and I think if it was open at the bottom sucking up lots of sea water with the oil then there is no pressure problem down the oil shaft as it is simply sucking up the sea water at 5000ft.


The only problem I think but cant understand, it the water is much heavier at the bottom of the pipe from the top so maybe this creates great pressure in itself on any water trying to rise vertical through the pipe
